Looted Vehicles

[Hell Crawler]

how do i use looted vehicles with the orks and were do i place them on the map. i have read the looted vehicles section and still dont get it. can someone try to help me if they can.

Well you use them just like any other unit in the army. Pay the points and they may be included. They are heavy support option so deploy with heavy support during deployment.

so all i can have any vehicle from any race and make it a looted vehicle and make it fallow the looted vehicle rules?

If you want to use the list in any kind of official game such as a tournament then you are restricted to the list of vehicles to loot in the codex. However if you are playing a game against somebody and they agree, you can use any vehicle you like.

so if i am playing by all the rules i will have to use only from the ork codex.

yes and no because like bm said. frendly games can have different vehicles but in tournements u get those picky gamers who will go at u because ur looted vehicle is far to advanced for orks to get working again.
this slides in frendly games cuz hu really cares, u wanna have a looted monolith go ahead,dont know how u did it but its cewl that u did...

[Hell Crawler]

ok ty for the help...i probably wont go for a monolith cause i have a strapped budget but i might go for a cheaper vehicle

[darkreever]

it would be intersesting tho, turn 2 the looted monolith descend 6 inches from ur opponent and 30 sluggas charge out, wait theres another 30 right behind them.

imagine the utter chaos that would ensue

So in a friendly game you're allowed to just not obey rules? Hm guess it's time to use Chimeras in Space marines because they *could* have access to them..

Friendly games dont mean you can just break the rules as you see fit. The codexs are built the way they are for a reason

Honestly you should stick to what is in the rules, don't get used to playing things outside of the rules cause you're gonna run into opponents who dont enjoy people cheating (Or bending rules to make their army much more powerful)

In either case, a looted monolith makes 0 sense if you actually read the necron codex

As a matter of fact, you can play the game however you want as long as everyone agrees. Outside of a tournament there's nothing saying you can't tweak things a little. I agree that a looted monolith is out of the question. However, what they were talking about is being able to loot vehicles that aren't listed in the ork codex. There are plenty of them that are not included that would make sense. For instance the land raider crusader (not around at the printing of the ork codex) and tanks like the SM vindicator. I would probably even let someone use a looted grav tank or sentinels against me just because it would not horribly imbalance the game or even go against the spirit of the rules.
